CISA is world-renowned as the standard of achievement for those who audit, control, monitor, and assess an organization’s information technology and business systems. It is foundational to a successful IT career. CISAs are expected to maintain an adequate level of current knowledge and proficiency in the field of information systems audit, control, and security. CISAs who successfully comply with the CPE policy will be better trained to assess information systems and technology and provide leadership and value to their organizations.
